FREE GYMNASTICS. 



INTRODUCTORY. 

The following tables of Free Gymnastics are selected from the Swedish 
(Ling) System. They do not contain anything original, nor are they intended 
to represent the entire system. They merely contain a number of movements 
rationally and progressively arranged for execution in the school-room by 
pupils of both sexes, using no appakatus whatever. Although the first 
tables are designed especially for the pupils of the lower grades, pupils in all 
grades who are taking up gymnastics the first time, should begin with the same 
simple movements. The accompanying illustrations of a few positions and 
movements are taken from Professor L. M. Torngren's standard Manual of 
Gymnastics for the Royal Swedish Navy. 

In submitting these tables I wish to acknowledge my obligation to Superin- 
tendent W. S. Mack for his continued encouragement and assistance, both 
during their preparation and their adaptation to school-room conditions. 

Hoping that this simple begimiing may produce residts that will lead to a 
proper appreciation of the value of gymnastic training in the public school, 

I am, very respectfully, 
Moline, 111., May, 1886. FREDRIK WESTERBERG, M. D.

SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS. 



1. The movements represented in the different tables should be given 
successively, in order. A new table should be taken up only after the move- 
ments of the preceding table are thoroughly understood and properly executed 
by the entire class. 

2. Primitive Positions are very important, and should be carefully 
taught before making any movement derived from them. They are in them- 
selves good exercises for very young or weak children, and damage may be 
easily wrought if their importance is ignored, and the whole class forced 
onward without due consideration for the differences of individual capacity. 

3. Strict discipline must be maintained while the class is executing the 
movements; but the teacher must be careful not to exhaust the interest and 
attention of his pupils by exercising them too long without an interval of 
standing at ease. All prolonged directions that will keep pupils in fatiguing or 
embarassing positions, during their delivery, should be avoided, or reserved 
until the class is commanded "In place, REST." 

4. The action of free breathing must not be hindered, and nothing 
that is tight around neck, waist, arms or legs should be worn during the 
exercises. 

5. Children who from illness or otherwise have been absent from gymnastic 
exercises, should, when they recommence, and until their strength returns, take 
the exercises with particular caution. 

6. As the aim of rational gymnastic training is to develop the body 
harmoniously, and therefore help to destroy the right-handed bias acquired 
by the human race, all movements are started from the left, and done as much 
to the left as to the right, so that every muscle is brought into equal and 
heathf ul activity. 

7. Movements of the arms and legs are to be executed first in slow time, 
but after some practice in quick time. Bending head and trunk requires slow 
time. (Great caution should be taken at first in bending the trunk backward.) 
Turning the head and trunk is usually done in slow time, occasionally in 
quick time. 

8. Each movement should be repeated twice at first; then after some 
practice three times. 

9. Every gymnastic movement is definite and has a definite form. 
Every definite form has a definite point in which it begins, and this is called 
the starting- or primary position. All the positions in which the body, 
or a part of it, is placed, between the starting and final position, are called 
intermediate positions. The final position, to which the body returns 
after having successfully assumed one or more intermediate positions, should 
invariably be the same as the primary position. 

10. All the exercises are composed of different movements. These 
movements are divided into different spaces of time, during which each is 
executed. These divisions of time are called motions and are indicated by 
One, Two, etc. 

11. All exercises are executed at word of command. Commands are of 



MOLIN~E PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

wo kinds— preparatory commands, and commands of execution. In 
the commands, "Left foot forward, PLACE," the first three words constL 
tute the preparatory command and indicate the movement that is to be executed, 
but only when the command of execution "PLACE" is given the movement 
of placing the left foot forward is executed. The tone of command should be 
animated and distinct. Each preparatory command should be pronounced in 
an ascending tone of voice, and always in such a manner that the command 
of execution may be more energetic and animated. The command of execution 
should be pronounced in a quick, firm manner if— as is usually the case— a 
quick execution of the motion is desired, and it should be pronounced slowly if 
the motion is to be executed slowly. 

12. At the time of gymnastic exercises, when the command " POSITION " 
is given, pupils should stand in the aisle at the left side of their seats. During 
the exercises, at the command "POSITION," arms and feet are brought 
smartly in position— the heels together; the knees straightened and turned out- 
ward so that the feet form a right angle; the arms well stretched close to 
the sides of the erect body, with the wrists touching the outer sides of the 
thighs; the fingers loosely closed with the thumbs in front; the head held erect 
with the eyes directed forward; the chest projected while the hips are kept 
slightly backward. (See Fig. 1.) 

13. At the command "Hips FIRM," the palms of the hands should be 
placed firmly on the hips, with the fingers together, the thumbs back and the 
elbows extended sideways (See Fig. 1,2,3,4) ; "Neck FIRM," the fingers should 
be locked together and the elbows extended sideways (See Fig. 9) ; "Arms 
upward, forward, and downward, STRETCH," the arms should be kept 
straight and parallel, with the palms of the hands facing each other (See Fig. 9) ; 
"Arms forward, BEND" and "Arms sideways, STRETCH" the palms 
should be turned downward, the elbows extended backward and the chest 
expanded (See Fig. 9 1 ). In the various foot placing* the legs should 
be kept perfectly straight, the knees not being in the least bent but braced back. 

In turning and bending the trunk there should be no movement 
below the hips. In "Arms forward and upward ltft, ONE, TWO," and 
" Sideways and downward sink, THREE, FOUR," the palms should be 
turned outward between "TWO" and "THREE."
